Two new games and two new apps are available for Kindle today. I'm very tempted by both of the games.
Jewel Quest Solitaire (
$3.99), by iWin
Game Description
The creative minds behind the popular Jewel Quest series return with a Solitaire card game filled with riches and adventure.
Play solitaire using jewel-themed card decks and mind-boggling layouts. The goal of the game is to remove all the cards from the board by finding cards that are either one value higher or lower than the one on the foundation pile. In this unique edition, you play young explorer Percy Pack as he works to unveil the story behind a mysterious lost jewel board that Professor Percy Pack had spent a lifetime searching for. To accomplish this, you must solve the 66 game layouts. Match card suits to earn more points, unearth buried cards, and discover wild cards with extraordinary powers.
An in-game tutorial makes it easy to get started playing right away, and you can get a hint if you get stuck in a particular game. Ten unique profiles means that different members of your family can play and without disturbing each others progress, or you can play several profiles at once to try and improve your high score along the way.
Embark on your card playing adventure in Jewel Quest Solitaire. Fortune and glory are in the cards!
Mahjong Butterfly (
$2.99), by Namco Networks America
Game Description
Mahjong Butterfly is a Mahjong tile matching game with a strategic goal larger than just clearing the board.
You goal is to collect caterpillars and help them transform into beautiful butterflies. To accomplish this, you must match the correct kinds of tiles to get caterpillars, and then continue making the right matches to feed your caterpillars and help them grow.
To help you achieve this goal, Mahjong Butterfly offers you the ability to take and hold a tile in reserve, allowing you access to a previously inaccessible tile without having to remove a valuable piece you want to play later. As you collect butterflies through the 47 different games, you gain more entries in your collection of butterflies; a nice reference that shows you more about the butterflies you've raised.
If you are ready for a more engaging Mahjong experience, then take some time to play with butterflies!
